Goodnight Punpun, Vol. 1 : Volume 1
By Inio Asano
Harry Hartog's review
This is a pretty depressing read, you definitely have to be prepared for this one! It's a slice of life following Punpun from childhood to his adult life. It's got some weirdness in it akin to Haruki Murakami in certain places, but it's also very grounded at the same time. Punpun is very relatable, and innocent, which adds to the feels when things start going downhill for him. 10/10 - Michael, Harry Hartog Penrith
